Your past self from the timeline you entered would remember but you wouldn't have remembered being pinched on the ass by yourself because it didn't actually happen till you went back in time but when you did you pinched yourself on the ass which would mean that.....
Believe it or not I constantly think about what I would do if I could back in time.... *ahem*
Personally I'd go back into the 80's and give myself the current gen of consoles, which I would then show to everyone. Obviously no-one would believe videogames can look like that and then I'd be thrown in the loony house. _________________

I would probably go up to myself, shake my hand and say to myself: "Whoa, dude. You look better than I imagined" *wink* *wink* Then, just for the heck of it, I would give myself a big hug. _________________

Actually you could never "go back" in time as far as anyone knows - you see while time is a dimension and can be influenced, you can't stop going fowards. You can slow down going fowards (and thus age less than everything else) but you can't reverse.

So how is it exactly that they accelerated a sub atomic particle to 300 times the speed of light so that it arrived at its destination before it left??

(actually did happen)
Ha, ha, ha. Yeah a lot of people heard about that, but it's very wrong. For a start it was done in a medium where light travels slower (like how it travles slower in water). So it wasn't "really" going faster than light. On top of that it was all mis-reported (the kind of thing that never happens here ) and it didn't actually arrive before it left. People who don't understand that physics said it could be possible to, then others said it did and thus you get your news.

Wasn't there a theory about how worm holes being tunnels in space from one loacation to another and even time zone?
Anyway, the future self would remember it being done ever before he went back in time. Like that particle it would have to get there before it actually started going, but you couldn't change that. Although that would be impossible anyway.
I agree Melmish I think you can slow down time so much that it doesn't seem to be moving at all. Like going the speed of light everything would seem frozen, at least near enough.

Hmm seems like a very interesting topic to choose. If you could change matter into mass and excellerate the atomic process then yes you could go into the future. But it's inpossible for you to return to your previouse self. Because you have already gone into the future you have already created the future for your self. If you where able to clone your self for a short peroid of time. Then possibly yes. But otherwise i think it's not probabable.

FWIW, Stephen Hawking talked about the ideas of Time Travel and concluded it was theoretically (Very theoretically) possible to go back in time, although the energy demands of doing so would be so incredible that there's no known source large enough to do it once! (He did, however, offer some theoretical power supplies that could pull it off.)
According to Hawking, there would be two major possibilities for the ass-pinching deal. If the universe is a consistent volume, then you would actually remember the ass-pinching even before you went out to pinch your own ass. But despite this, you'd still go back to do it. But if the universe is not consistent, then even when you'd returned you'd probably not remember it, since you're stepping from your original history (wherein the ass-pinching did not happen) and then into an alternate history (wherein it did). Needless to say, this all gets very confusing.

Do you have any idea of what your talking about?
Turn Matter into Mass? Yeah that would be hard!!!
But Sory Zemaj, but i dont agree with you on your close minded Physics way of thinking, i do however agree with Hawkings (the mordern day Newton) Who actually thinks about it, and focuses on ways to do the "impossible"
well i think we should leave the past and the future cause, well the world is good as it is..... you could start new wars and things wich would definetly do something to your being and could undone you, and if you would go to future you would see something that you shouldnt see so let it be... _________________ Jimi rocks
As far as I'm aware, current understanding is that you can go back in time, but only to where there's a time machine.
A guy's building some sort of time machine which should in theory be able to receive pulses of energy from the future, and he expects to get messages FROM the future when he switches it on. Until someone in OUR present works out how to transport people, no one's gonna be here, because there's no "receiver" on this end to recreate them. _________________

Ha, ha, ha. "close minded" You're the one blindly accepting the views of others without considering the reasons behind it. Even if I'm wrong I like to try to set back and look at things from a different angle since somewhere along the line it means I'll find something others haven't. I think your the first person ever to call me views "close minded".
Actually the primary reason behind what I said is that I personally I think that time is positively quantised which would explain the limit of the speed of light. Of course it's probably entirely wrong, but it does make sense on many levels.
